NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

36 CFR Part 1253

RIN 3095-AB08


NARA Facilities; Addresses and Hours

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Archives and Records Administration is amending 
its regulation that lists NARA facilities and hours when the public and 
other Federal agency staff may use the records in those facilities. 
This final rule includes corrections to email addresses for the 
Presidential libraries, corrections to phone and fax numbers, and in 
some cases, modifies the hours that these facilities are open for 
research. In addition, NARA is also implementing a uniform policy on 
research room facility closings for Federal holidays in order to 
standardize them throughout NARA. This final rule affects members of 
the public who do research at NARA facilities.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 27, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kim Richardson at telephone number 
301-713-7360, ext. 240, or fax number 301-713-7270.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published in the April 
15, 2002, Federal Register (67 FR 18146) for a 60-day comment period. 
NARA did not receive any comments.
    This rule is effective upon publication for ``good'' cause as 
permitted by the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)). 
NARA believes that delaying the effective date for 30 days is 
unnecessary as this rule represents minor technical amendments. 
Moreover, as the public benefits immediately being provided with 
corrections to email addresses for the Presidential libraries, phone 
and fax numbers, and in some cases, modifications to the hours that 
these facilities are open for research, any delay in the effective date 
would be contrary to the public interest.
    This rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes 
of Executive Order 12866 and has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, I 
certify that this rule will not have a significant impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. This regulation does not have any 
federalism implications.
